Recognising the role of CSIRO, he proposed that the city andorganisation step up cooperation regarding open innovative startup models and theconnection of their startup ecosystems; and share experiences in developing thetriple helix model of innovation (Public-Private-Academia).

The official also suggested that the two sides implement strategies to commercialise research outcomes from universities,policies, and strategic models to attract the private sector’s participation indeveloping the innovative startup ecosystem.

Speaking highly of these suggestions, Law said theAustralian national science organisation has experience and strengths indeveloping the triple helix model as well as in turning scientific research from universities and research institutes into commercialproducts for daily life. CSIRO is ready to share such experiences with HCMCity, he affirmed.

CSIRO is willing to join the city’s innovation and digitaltransformation week (WHISE) at the end of this year and looks forward toexchanging knowledge and experiences in technology development and innovationwith the southern economic hub of Vietnam, he said.

CSIRO has a close relationship with Vietnam, with the sides collaborating onprojects in the fields of aquaculture, space science, and future technology. Theorganisation is one of the sponsors and managers of the Aus4Innovation programme,which has been implemented in Vietnam since 2018./.
